More Nguni watercolours

I have painted these two Ngunis in acrylic on canvas already, but decided to do them in watercolour in neutral colours. They measure 175 x 125 each. I like the one (coming towards you) so much, that I might do it yet AGAIN! - this time in oil, probably on a larger scale. I'm still looking for another friend for it; I like making paintings in pairs.

About Me

I am an African girl. I love the African sun and I love painting scenes of Africa. I love the wide open spaces of Africa, its warmth and its variety. Lately my attention has been drawn to the beautiful and varied skin colour patterns of the indigenous Nguni cattle of Southern Africa. Join me in my African adventure as I find and paint more Nguni, birds and people of Africa.

Virginia Cobb about Painting:

I think painting is a little like trying to describe a dream to somebody. The images are somewhere out there on the edge of your consciousness, but you can't quite put it into words, because when you put it into words, everything changes...

Andrew Wyeth (Watercolour Artist): The Creative Process

"I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious."

Renoir about Painting Flowers

"I just let my brain rest when I paint flowers" - Renoir

Ingmar Berman about Creativity

"Art lost its basic creative drive the moment it was separated from worship. It severed an umbilical cord and now lives its own sterile life, generating and degenerating itself. In former days the artist remained unknown and his work was to the glory of God."

Ludwig von Beethoven about Creativity:

"I change many things, discard others, and try again and again until I am satisfied. Then, in my head, I begin to elaborate the work in its breadth, its narrowness, its height, its depth... I hear and see the image in front of me from every angle, as if it had been cast, and only the labour of writing it down remains."
